1. Callie and i close on our new house in six days! we are so freakin pumped! it’s been such a blessing to be able to find and afford a house like this in this economy. we are so stoked about getting in there and painting and setting it up and moving our stuff in and just soaking up our house. for those of you that haven’t seen it, here’s a picture. i’ll post pictures of the inside once we get in there and get it cleaned up and painted and situated.
4. my current feelings about sports. ready? go > i hope the Hawks do good. they killed Miami in game 1 but then almost couldn’t find their way to the court in game 2. i want to see them do well. they’ve sucked for the longest time and it’s good for them to play to sell-out crowds. the Braves need to pick it up. they started the season off great but have slacked off since the Marlins came to town. i mean, seriously? you beat the Nationals 1-0 off a bases loaded walk in the 9th? step it up. and do it now. the NFL Draft is this weekend and it was good to see that the Falcons picked up Tony Gonzalez yesterday. now, we won’t have to draft a tight end. i hope they make smart decisions this weekend. it looks like Matthew Stafford may be the first pick in the draft. i’m not sure that the Detroit Lions (who got new unis and a new logo this week) are making a smart decision. it makes sense to take the best player in the draft if you’ve got the first pick, but if you can’t protect a quarterback and don’t have a running back or receivers (with the exception of Calvin Johnson) that he can get the ball to, why would you take a quarterback? (not even to mention, a quarterback who declared early – bad move on Stafford’s part) however, it is good to see a UGA player (and possibly two) go extremely early in the draft – even though it appears that Miami’s streak of having a player taken in the first round will come to an end this year. heck, you may not even see a Miami player taken until day 2 of the draft. cornerback Bruce Johnson is Miami’s one and only hope of having a player selected on the first day. and, chances are, he won’t probably be selected within the first two rounds.
i can’t wait for College Football season.
